Hawai'iYou will notice throughout this website that the word " Hawai'i" has what looks like an apostrophe between the last 2 letters. This is the correct spelling in the Hawaiian language. The apostrophe is actually called a "glottal stop". The glottal stop is used as a pause and also to differentiate words. For example, Lana'i is the name of a Hawaiian island. Lanai (without a glottal stop) means a balcony.
